Sorry, I do not have a "patch" - but here the changes. Add these two lines to the top of the file: ------------8<------------- SERIAL 0 115200 CONSOLE 0 ------------8<------------- and add the console=... part to each APPEND-line: ------------8<------------- APPEND mode=normal initrd=ipcoprd-3.4-3.img root=/dev/disk/by-label/root ro panic=10 loglevel=4 console=ttyS0,115200n8 ------------8<------------- (the above is on one line).
